The Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 1876 this past session that changed the district's election date - effective immediately following passage - from May in odd-numbered years to the uniform election date in November in even-numbered years.

State Sen. Glenn Hegar authored the bill, sponsored by State Rep. Geanie Morrison.
